Shareholders approved the 2001 Plan in July 2001, covering key employees, officers, directors and other persons that may be considered as service providers to the Company. Options may be awarded under the 2001 Plan by the Board of Directors or by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors. Under the 2001 Plan, an aggregate of 300,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance or transfer upon the exercise of options which are granted. Unless otherwise provided in the option agreement, options granted under the 2001 Plan are exercisable in 25% installments commencing one year from the anniversary date of the grant. The purchase price of the common stock under each option granted under the 2001 Plan was established by the Board of Directors provided, that the exercise price per share could not be less than the closing price of the Company&rsquo;s common stock on the date the option is granted. The stock options generally expire five to ten years after the date of grant. As of December 31, 2016, there were options to purchase 59,730 shares outstanding under the 2001 Plan. The 2001 Plan terminated on July 22, 2011. No further grants may be made under the 2001 Plan.</font></p>

Shareholders approved the 2007 Plan in December 2007, covering key employees, officers, outside directors or third party consultants to the Company or any of its affiliates. The 2007 Plan authorizes the grant and issuance of two different types of awards: options (&ldquo;Stock Options&rdquo;), which can qualify as &ldquo;incentive stock options&rdquo; under the Internal Revenue Code (the &ldquo;Code&rdquo;), or as &ldquo;non-qualified stock options&rdquo;, and restricted stock (&ldquo;Restricted Stock&rdquo;), which is stock that is contingent on an employee satisfying conditions, including without limitation continued employment, passage of time or satisfaction of performance criteria. Options may be awarded by the Compensation Committee, although the Board of Directors may exercise any authority of the Committee under the 2007 Plan in lieu of the Committee&rsquo;s exercise thereof. Under the 2007 Plan, an aggregate of 750,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance or transfer upon the granting of Restricted Stock or upon the exercise of options which are granted. The purchase price of the common stock under each option granted under the 2007 Plan is established by the Board of Directors provided that the exercise price per share shall not be less than the closing price of the Company&rsquo;s common stock on the date the option is granted As of December 31, 2016, 578,333 shares have been granted and 171,667 remain available for grant.</font></p>

The submission of the appointment of MSPC is not required by law or by the Company&rsquo;s Bylaws and is non-binding. However, the Board of Directors is nevertheless submitting this proposal to the shareholders as a matter of good corporate practice. If the shareholders do not ratify the appointment, the selection of other independent public accountants will be considered by the Audit Committee. Even if MSPC is ratified by the shareholders, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that doing so is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. If MSPC shall decline to accept or become incapable of accepting its appointment, or if its appointment is otherwise discontinued, the Audit Committee will appoint other independent public accountants. MSPC has served as the Company&rsquo;s independent public accountants since 2005. The Board of Directors expects that a representative of MSPC will be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders, and the Board of Directors will provide this representative with an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so.</font></p>

Management is responsible for preparation, presentation and integrity of our financial statements as well as our financial reporting process, accounting policies, internal audit function, internal accounting controls and disclosure controls and procedures.&nbsp;MSPC, CVD&rsquo;s independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and to issue a report thereon. The Audit Committee&#39;s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes. The following is the Audit Committee&#39;s report submitted to the Board of Directors for&nbsp;2016.</font></p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-align:justify;">The Audit Committee recognizes the importance of main<font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">taining the independence of CVD&#39;s Independent Auditor, both in fact and appearance. Each year, the Audit Committee evaluates the qualifications, performance and independence of CVD&#39;s Independent Auditor and determines whether to re-engage the current Independent Auditor. Based on this evaluation, the Audit Committee has retained MSPC as the Company&#39;s Independent Auditor for&nbsp;2017. Although the Audit Committee has the sole authority to appoint the Independent Auditors, the Audit Committee will continue to recommend that the Board ask the stockholders, at the Annual Meeting, to ratify the appointment of the Independent Auditors.</font></p>
